No 56k: Replacement 1995 XJR - Also In Black

Spectre · September 9th, 2009, 9:00 AM

Here's the replacement for my last 95 XJR. Story of how it died and I obtained this one is available here.

In these pictures it looks dirty because it is. It was brought straight over from the dealership that had it, and they'd gotten it as a trade-in. The dealer giving it to me as compensation had let their detailer guys go home long before the 4L80E swap was complete, so I told them not to worry about it and took it home as it. I can clean it myself well enough. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Since entirely too many people have been posting cars that really aren't theirs and others have requested that in future people posting high end cars put some kind of identification on them to verify ownership, I thought I'd set an example.

Let me be the first one to say that it looks great, even in the low light conditions! And I loled at your message to FG disbelievers

So just as I'm leaving for work here in Aus your old shit is being ruined. Now, I'm home, I'm eating some Pizza Hut, and here's your replacement! You know how to get things done, lemme tell ya!

The new one looks pretty good. I hope it stays that way!

phuckingduck · September 9th, 2009, 9:12 AM

Looks like you (and by you I mean the free work comped to you by the dealership) have some work ahead of you. But it's a good starting point images/smilies/wink.gif

Still sorry to hear about your last car.

Dsemaj · September 9th, 2009, 9:19 AM

Efficient! You're a man who knows how to get things done, that's for sure! Love to see some pictures once it gets cleaned up, good luck.

shad_68 · September 9th, 2009, 9:24 AM

I'm personally not so sure about the two-tone interior, judging from that one pic the all-black rendition seems better looking.

But still, apart from that it looks like a worthy replacement. images/smilies/smile.gif

Dr_Grip · September 9th, 2009, 9:33 AM

I think i should really eye a jag at some point... these cars look classy eventhough they are not older than i am. Good you got this replacement so fast.

Long live the XJR!

Posmo · September 9th, 2009, 9:43 AM

Can you go and rip out the "modifications" from the wreck of the old XJR? Because, you know, you have to modify that one aswell images/smilies/smile.gif

Spectre · September 9th, 2009, 9:44 AM

Almost all of them were in the front and destroyed on impact, alas. images/smilies/sad.gif

I guess I´ll be chasing some exotics down the road in the next days with a piece of paper, propping it behind the whiper and taking photos of them. Et voila, finally a Car I don´t have to be embarassed to write into my profile here. Wait, I hear a porsche coming down the block. Damn printer, print faster!!!!! images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

No Spectre, I don´t doubt you, I´m just kidding.

Has anyone else seen that movie called The Big Steal? The events of today have reminded me of it. It is about Jaguars and misfortune.

Anyway, good luck again. I hope this new one turns out to be just as good - no wait - better than the old one. images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

InfernalVortex · September 9th, 2009, 10:41 AM

Do you have a thread on the old one? What all was done to it?

maxtortheone · September 9th, 2009, 10:51 AM

It's just a few threads down in the Post-your-car section, here

Wyvern · September 9th, 2009, 11:12 AM

OK, it's a bit grubby at the moment, but as you say, that's easily sorted - it's clean and together where it counts. It looks like a good place to pick up where you left off. Hopefully you'll get a great deal of pleasure - and better luck - with this one images/smilies/smile.gif

syncview · September 9th, 2009, 12:11 PM

you're QUICK.

Redliner · September 9th, 2009, 1:42 PM

Great potential. Congrats!

Nicely done. I guess it's nice to have a freebie every once in a while images/smilies/biggrin.gif
